When it comes to judging, it’s in our nature… It’s easy to point out the flaws in others while overlooking the areas we need to address, but when we do, we give the kind of judgment that we’d never want for ourselves. Jesus left us with clear instruction: don’t be blind to your own sins. Take care of your own wrongdoing first, and only then can you see clearly to help those around you—lovingly calling one another out of sin and into Christ-likeness.

But God warns us that money and possessions can deceive us into living for the temporal and cause us to lose sight of what it means to live for the eternal. How we use money affects the very core of who we are becoming! Tune into the full message to hear more on God’s heart for us when it comes to money.
